Did Hoffa advocate “second amendment solutions?”
Response on Facebook to someone repeating the FOX News inspired meme that James P. Hoffa called for violence against Republicans and that Democrats should condemn him for it. FOX is showing an edited clip of Hoffa’s speech introducing the president before a union-friendly crowd in Detroit on Labor Day in which Hoffa calls for “taking them out.” Left out, however, was that Hoffa was referring to taking Republicans in Congress out of office. Expect FOX’s distortions to accelerate ahead of Pres. Obama’s jobs speech.
